About this movie

Chanticleer (Glen Campbell, "Strange Homecoming") is a rooster who's quite literally the cock of the walk. His ability to wake the sun with his morning crow is the envy of all. With one exception. The Grand Duke of Owls (Christopher Plummer, "Return of the Pink Panther") is one very foul fowl. Bent on destroying Chanticleer, the jealous Duke devises a plan so that it appears that the sun can rise on its own without Chanticleer's help. Shunned by the farm animals whose reaction is swift and pitiless, Chanticleer heads to the big city to start a new life, leaving the farm on the edge of disaster. In Vegas, with his career on the rise, thanks to his manager Pinky Fox (Sorrell Booke, TV's "The Dukes of Hazzard") with an assist from the duplicitous Grand Duke, Chanticleer's future is looking golden. But he'll soon realize that family, friends and home mean more than fleeting fame in the touching and comic animated film for the entire family.
